The Ambassador in Italy (Phillips) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 8—6:12 a.m.]
195. Department’s instruction No. 351, July 27. Italian Foreign Office’s notes of May 20 and July 14 would seem to require formal reply in writing. However, the Department’s instruction under reference apparently authorizes use of information furnished by the Treasury Department only in conversations with the Italian authorities. Would there be objection to my addressing a note to the Foreign Office in the sense of second paragraph of the instruction and enclosing therewith a memorandum containing that information.
